General Information - Travel and Recreation:

Upon arrival at the field please be dressed in the official referee jersey, official black shorts, and official black referee socks. You must have your current referee patch and have the alternate referee jersey.

Come prepared with a stopwatch, flags and a whistle.

Before each game, check that goals and nets are secure.

Introduce yourself to both coaches.

Spectators are to be on one side of the field; players and a maximum of 2 coaches and a trainer on the opposite side. Spectators are not allowed behind the goal lines.

Remember that you earned your referee certification and you are in charge of the game.

You are expected to move with the ball throughout the game.

BLOW YOUR WHISTLE LOUD AND CLEAR. You made the call. Make sure everyone knows. Guide the players to understand the call.

You are expected to conduct yourself in a calm, professional and courteous manner.

The coaches are responsible for the conduct of themselves, their players and their parents. If a coach or parent issue persists, you are to first stop the game and call both coaches to the middle of the field and explain the issue. Ensure the coach speaks to the appropriate party to resolve the issue. If any coach continues with unsportsmanlike or abusive behavior after you have given him/her a verbal warning, you may decide to call the game. ANY such issues should be reported to the Referee Assignor.

If a parent confronts or verbally abuses you, walk away and speak to the appropriate coach about the parent's behavior. ANY such issues should be reported to the Referee Assignor.

Rough or over aggressive play should be called - we do not want any players to get hurt!

Mentors and assessors will attend games throughout the year to monitor and assist referees.
